So I have learned a lot about using Photoshop over the last year, by making graphics for the site. I’m by far just starting out and today I was reminded of that. I have spent hours working on the crazy patterns used on graphics, dubbed “Rising Sun”. The idea is pretty popular across the internet [...]
I ran across another Mac shareware team I’d never heard of, Bruji, makers of the “Pedia” software, such as Bookpedia, CDPedia, and DVDPedia. Looks a lot like Delicious Library, except split up into different applications. What is interesting here is the little gem I found on the website in some sample code and open-source frameworks.

I went to Burger King this morning to grab a biscuit and a water, a cheap way to eat breakfast on the go, for about 2 dollars. However, it seems that Burger King is about to go bankrupt because the wonderfully cheerful voice informed me, “Are you aware that water is no longer free? It’s [...]
I’ve been pretty dormant here on the site recently, lavishly enjoying the summer weather, friends and all that, so now that we’ve said that, let’s move on. In the July edition of macCompanion, I wrote a simply marvelous article for anyone who has ever wondered what went into creating a basic widget for Dashboard in [...]
I was amazed at the interface and reliability of Newsfire about 2 years ago. Now, the product is starting to show its age and the lack of feature additions in the updates doesn’t help matters. So, as of late, I have been on the lookout for a new RSS reader. I gave Newslife a spin [...]
